    摘要: The present invention optimizes the performance of integrated circuits by adjusting the circuit operating voltage using feedback on process/product parameters. To determine a desired value for the operating voltage of an integrated circuit, a preferred embodiment provides for on-wafer probing of one or more reference circuit structures to measure at least one electrical or operational parameter of the one or more reference circuit structures; determining an adjusted value for the operating voltage based on the measured parameter; and establishing the adjusted value as the desired value for the operating voltage. The reference circuit structures may comprise process control monitor structures or structures in other integrated circuits fabricated in the same production run. In an alternative embodiment, the one or more parameters are directly measured from the integrated circuit whose operating voltage is being adjusted.

    摘要: A programmable logic device (PLD) includes mechanisms for adjusting or setting the body bias of one or more transistors. The PLD includes a body-bias generator. The body-bias generator is configured to set a body bias of one or more transistors within the programmable logic device. More specifically, the body-bias generator sets the body bias of the transistor(s) so as to trade off performance and power consumption of the transistor(s).
